Microplaning vs. Dermaplaning: What’s the Difference?

In the quest for glowing, "glass-like" skin, the terminology can get confusing. You have likely heard of dermaplaning, the celebrity-favourite exfoliation method, but recently, the term "microplaning" has started popping up in beauty forums and on social media.

Are they the same thing? Is one better than the other?

At Hollywood Browzer, we offer two distinct tools to help you achieve that flawless base: the classic Hollywood Browzer Dermaplaner and the innovative Hollywood Microplaner. While both will leave you fuzz-free and glowing, they are designed for different levels of exfoliation.

Let’s break down the difference so you can choose your perfect match.

The Classic: Hollywood Browzer (Dermaplaner)

The Original Hero

This is the tool that started it all. The Hollywood Browzer is our original, award-winning dermaplaner designed for versatility and ease of use. It features a stainless steel blade with a safety guard that protects your skin while you smooth it.

How It Works: It gently scrapes away the top layer of dead skin cells and vellus hair (peach fuzz). It is the perfect "primer for your primer," creating a smooth canvas for makeup.

Why Choose The Browzer?

  • Versatility: It is fantastic for both full-face dermaplaning and precise removal. 

  • Gentle Touch: If you are new to dermaplaning or have sensitive skin, this is the perfect starting point.

  • Simplicity: No bells and whistles, just a simple, effective tool that delivers instant results.


The Upgrade: Hollywood Microplaner

The Pro-Level Exfoliator

If the Browzer is the classic, the Microplaner is the high-performance upgrade. It might look similar, but the magic lies in the engineering.

How It Works: The Microplaner features a unique design with microfine teeth surrounding an enhanced precision blade. These microfine teeth allow the tool to get closer to the skin’s surface, providing a deeper, more intense exfoliation than the standard Browzer.

The Verdict

  • Stick with the Hollywood Browzer if you want a multi-tasking tool that gently refreshes your skin. It’s the trusty classic that never fails.

  • Upgrade to the Hollywood Microplaner if you are chasing that "next-level" glow. If you feel like your skin needs a deeper reset to get rid of rough texture, the microfine teeth will be a game-changer for your routine.
